Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Research and Training Division

“Our future is being shaped by the astronomic advances that Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) applications are generating.

The world today is experiencing rapid re birth of what it used to know of health, education and development concerns. As the connected devises proliferate with 25 billion devices connected to internet of things, the world growing population is becoming more connected. Amount of data generated globally is growing at exponential rate, putting security and privacy at more risks than ever, and more like minded people are forming groups over and above physical boarders.

Technology is offering great potentials to meet many society and environmental challenges that hinge on survival of man, such as energy and food supply, carbon emission, immigration and search for greener pasture. The advances are rapidly changing workplace skills requirement. The traditional occupations are gradually becoming redundant and new occupations are emerging.

There is therefore urgent need to rethink education and redirect research endeavours to fit the sophistication of future jobs with required skills that match the rapid proliferation of new technologies”.

– Prof Ahmed A. Adedeji
